about

In the year 1999 and again in 2012, the end of the world was a popular concept. Using upbeat music to underscore a world-ending theme, 'Armageddon Lovers' is a sarcastic retelling of times when apocalyptic thinking was, at least for some, a romantic notion. The song pretends to shake its fist at the divine for not bringing about Armageddon. Simultaneously, a different and more personal story is told through apocalyptic metaphor. Presented to Flowers For Lily in 2009 but ultimately unused, 'Armageddon Lovers' was first released online as a C Side.

Also available on 'C Side Volume 5: Little Blue Secrets'

lyrics

So there we waited
Heads stuck in sand
Singing only sweetness
Faith held in hand

So much for the end
All your promises
Where's your final call
Where's my tidal wave
Here we're slowly dying
Here we make our grave
Armageddon lovers
Now we'll never be

So disappointed
Lost and betrayed
Like lonesome orphans
Faith fallen dead

So much for the end
All your promises
Where's your final call
Where's my tidal wave
Here we're slowly dying
Here we make our grave
Armageddon lovers
Now we'll never be

You gambled out
Never came back down
Mother is long gone
Like father lost to war

So much for the end
All your promises
Where's your final call
Where's my tidal wave
Here we're slowly dying
Here we make our grave
Armageddon lovers
Now we'll never be
